OPERATION
TRIMMING TIPS
A WARNING
Debris such as sticks, gravel, and rocks can be thrown
with sufficient force to cause personal injury or property
damage.
Set the throttle control in the FAST position. The faster the
engine runs, the faster the trimmer head will rotate. If the
weeds or grass are tall and thick, operate the trimmer at a
slower walking speed.
Frequently clean the trimmer to remove any grass build
up. See the Maintenance section for details.
For best results and longer lasting line, use the ends of the
line to do the cutting. This is easily done by moving
slowly through very thick or heavy weeds.
If the trimmer lines become too short, it will take longer to
complete this job.
If the trimmer lines are worn to less
than half their original length, change to a new trimmer
line. See "How to Replace the Trimmer Line" in the
Maintenance section.
Do not trim on excessively steep slopes. See Slope
Guide. If a slope is difficult to stand on, do not trim it.
Do not trim on slopes when the ground is slippery or wet.
Trim across the face of a slope, not up and down.
Trimmer head contact to concrete, asphalt and harder
surfaces may create premature wear to the height guide.
